another piece of the jigsaw

Today I received the marriage certificate of Josephine Joseph and William George DAER. Josephine is the person who registered the death of Bessie NATHAN. She said that she was a niece of Bessie so I searched for a marriage of a Josephine to someone called DAER and sent for the certificate.
Josephine is a widow aged 43 and her father's name is James JACOBS.
Bessie's sister Rachel NATHAN married James JACOBS in 1877 so that fits.
The witnesses at the marriage of Josephine and William are George and Amelia Baselgia.
Amelia is the youngest sister of Bessie and Rachel.
See how it is all meshing together? Well it gets a little better too because Josephine gives her address as 6 Iliffe St, Walworth and somewhere I have a note telling me that a Hannah NATHAN was living at Iliffe St around the time that Frederic GIBBON and Margaret Annie GUILFOYLE were married - 1905 -
Now what I have to do is find out if Josephine had any children when married the first time and if she had any brothers or sisters.
